Note: This is not an SDXL model! It's based on SD 1.5.

SD 1.5 | CineScapeXL beta1 is a bit of an experiment that focuses mainly on landscape and portrait images trained from SDXL - in terms of aspect ratio. Mainly cinematic style on higher resolution.

So you can use it on lower VRAM than SDXL and have (sort of) similar outputs, while also retaining the ability to merge the model with the broad range of other SD 1.5 models.

The model is primarily meant to be used with Automatic1111 and High.Res Fix. In my testing, I've found these settings to work quite well (many times you can also increase the initial resolution):

• Most of the time I'd keep the lower aspect ratio at 512px (width or height depending on the ratio you want to use)

• CFG Scale between 3.5 - 7.0 : Just play around with it. Sometimes the model tends to overfit a little.

• The model will most of the time apply cinematic features to the image. If it doesnt, use something like 'cinematic style' 'greyscale' 'dark colors' 'photographic style' or 'analog film'.

• Using (weight:1.3) on words works quite well if you miss something in the image or cant get certain style.

• Generations of images at night should appear really dark, as the model has been trained with noise offset.

Important: Make sure to set SD VAE to None in Automatic1111 settings :

I might develop it further over time...
